In Taiwan, the inception of the US Military Assistance Advisory Group in 1951 added to the numbers of Masons some of whom came from America. Liberty Lodge,

under the Grand Lodge of China was the first one to be informally established in Taipei in 1952, initially under dispensation.

Its founding Master was instrumental in obtaining government approval to reconstitute the Grand Lodge of China in Taiwan in 1955.

Only four of the Subordinate Lodges were able to be reconstituted in Taiwan in four cities, namely Taipei, Kaohsiung, Taichung and Keelung.

The Grand Lodge of China, since moving to Taiwan, received great international recognition. This is seen by the number of jurisdictions having fraternal relations with the Grand Lodge, which have increased from the initial eight to the current 88 including the Irish and Scottish Constitutions (recognized as China in Taiwan) and 49 American Grand Lodges.
